Ted with the precision the bombs where dropped and the fact that they where dropped on military targets almost exclusively I don't think it is accurate to say we engaged in wholesale bombing in Afghanistan.

As for carpet bombing, no one can carpet bomb a country the size of Afghanistan. We could carpet bomb Kabul, or maybe even all the cities if we wanted to, but such carpet bombing or even just plain old regular "wholesale bombing" would probably have killed tens or even hundreds of thousands of civilians.
